However, above the critical point in a funnel-like region, water is constantly fluctuating between these two structures, and these structural fluctuations are what give rise to many ...
The reprogrammed cell itself becomes the treatment that gets reintroduced to the patient. “We need to integrate existing technology to break through manufacturing bottlenecks and mak...
This, according to the new RE100 annual report published by The Climate Group and CDP this week, which publishes the latest available data (which is from 2014) on 45 companies partak...
The task is to determine whether there exists an input to the circuit such that the output is 1. The answer should be ‘yes’ as there exists an input to the circuit such that the outp...
Andrii Rozhok, Jennifer Salstrom and James DeGregori provide evidence that the evolutionary force of genetic drift contributes to the ability of cancerous cells to overtake populatio...
Volunteers clean up plastics from a beach in Hong Kong on June 7, 2009 Plastic rubbish will outweigh fish in the oceans by 2050 unless the world takes drastic action to recycle the ...
The internal state (an electron spin) or the center-of-mass motion state of a microorganism on an electromechanical oscillator can be teleported to a remote microorganism on another ...
A team of scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley have recorded the ...
We found that interbreeding with archaic humans–the Neanderthals and Denisovans–has influenced the genetic diversity in present-day genomes at three innate immunity genes belonging t...
The team uses a robotic arm called the Primary Mirror Alignment and Integration Fixture to lift and lower each of Webb’s 18 primary flight mirror segments to their locations on the t...
We discovered the key to unlocking the design principle for how hippocampal neurons function with low energy but high computation power. We were amazed to find that the difference in...
Among all unigenes, 43.73% (17,379) unigenes got matches in the nr database using blastx (e-value < 1e−5). Full size image We next specifically compared P. puparum venom proteins...
Though all three are made of calcium carbonate crystals, the hard materials include clumps of soft biological matter that make them much stronger. This work helps us to sort out how ...

This analysis shows that getting to 100% renewable energy within the US would consist of: 30.9% onshore wind 19.1% offshore wind 30.7% utility-scale solar photovoltaics (PV) 7.2%...
These puny pips offer a glimpse into the biology powering the ancient predecessors of all modern flowers. [Photos: Ancient Flowering Plant May Have Lived with Dinosaurs] Around half...
If a new selected mutation is surrounded by others that are also exposed to selection, these mutations will interfere (compete) with each other as they do not segregate independently...
The US military is developing a neural implant that will let your brain control and communicate with computer systems The Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launc...
Gene editing in this yeast strain will lead to new precursors for biofuels and specialty polymers. Published recently in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology, the research involves the ...
(Image credit: USGS) Cretaceous period plants One hallmark of the Cretaceous period was the development and radiation of flowering plants, or angiosperms, which rapidly diversified...
To date, research on the effects of climate change has underestimated the contribution of seawater expansion to sea level rise due to warming of the oceans. In the deeper parts of th...
Their paper, published today in Nature Genetics, demonstrates the creation of a system that predicts how to create any human cell type from another cell type directly, without the ne...
Researchers of the Jena University (Germany) and of the Jena University Hospital located an important region for the visual processing of numbers in the human brain and showed that i...
